The Burrell School District plans to appeal a Westmoreland County assessment ruling that reduced the real estate tax assessment of Siemens Industry Inc. With the lower assessment, the school district stands to lose $53,000 this year.
The tax challenge adds to another legal action Burrell, along with Upper Burrell Township, are pursuing to prevent a substantial loss of tax revenue from Arconic Inc., the largest land owner in Upper Burrell. Siemens’ main operations site is at the Westmoreland Business and Research Park, and the Arconic Technology Center is off of Route 780.
